Lorenzo and his staff are true professionals. They honestly care about giving their customers the best possible experience. The “cold” breakfast is substantial — the croissants are the best we have had!

Property felt very home like, the entire staff was a delight, very thoughtful and the room was ready before check in time which was great after an 11 hour flight. Would definitely stay here again and would recommend staying here.

Personal and lovely B&B
Fantastic little B&B in a beautiful and well connected part of London. A fantastic range of restaurants around the area also added to it. Personal touch and thoughtful enquiry by the staff and owners were the cherry on top.

This was one of the best places we’ve ever stayed at! All the hosts were so kind and made us feel welcome as soon as we arrived. The interior is beautiful, especially in the restaurant area. Unfortunately, they didn’t have staff for the restaurant during our stay, but there are so many great restaurants right nearby, and the complementary breakfast was fantastic. We’ll definitely be back again and would recommend!

My room was absolutely tiny. Although this was just a work trip and somewhere to sleep, the room was uncomfortably small. Breakfast was included. Coffee was lovely and the staff couldn’t be more helpful.
